320 Number of blue and green stickers
= 20 u - 1 u - 3 u
= 16 u
20 u = 220
1 u = 220 ÷ 20 = 11
Number of blue and green stickers
= 16 u
= 16 x 11
= 176
16 u = 2 p + 10
2 p + 10 = 176
2 p = 176 - 10
2 p = 166
1 p = 166 ÷ 2 = 83
Number of green stickers
= 1 p
= 83

Number of more red stickers than yellow stickers
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 11
= 22
Answer(s): (a) 83; (b) 22
